Led pre-FEED study for the SASREF+ Program's pipeline portion, coordinating interfaces, client meetings, and technical reviews. Served as Lead Field Project Engineer for the Tengizchevroil project in Kazakhstan, managing a team of 9 engineers and designers while overseeing construction issues and coordinating with various disciplines. Successfully signed off over 1600 RFIs and achieved significant

Contributed to the detailed design of crude oil pipelines, performing critical calculations for crossings, wall thickness, and buoyancy. Developed schematics for mainline valves and pump stations, generated material take-offs, and conducted technical bid evaluations. Led efforts in creating pipeline MTOs, plot plans, and compiled valve and crossing lists while ensuring compliance with design stand

Assisted the pipeline integrity department with replacement projects and conducted engineering research for potential expansion initiatives. Collaborated with the business development group to provide estimates for pipeline system expansions. Contributed to the creation of company design manuals and procedures by combining existing standards.

Prepared designs for pipeline routing, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), tie-ins, and mainline valve requisitions for a new 233-mile pipeline system. Provided support to the environmental department, fulfilled data requests by FERC, and reviewed FERC filings. Performed HDD, buoyancy, and pipe casing calculations, and completed material requisitions for projects.

Worked on interconnects for a 70-mile gas pipeline project, optimizing design for cost savings and supporting FERC filings. Participated in HAZOP studies, prepared project-specific specifications, and updated PFDs/P&IDs. Managed material requisitions for bulk piping items, valves, and inline strainers, and conducted technical evaluations of material quotations.

Worked with the Facility Planning department on expansion projects, preparing Deficiency Reports for meter and regulator stations to ensure proper unit functioning. Collaborated with marketing and engineering to address deficiencies. Managed projects involving pipeline pigging to fix cracks and dents while maintaining delivery schedules.

Completed a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

Obtained a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Recipient of Lamar University Dean’s Graduate Scholarship for the entire master’s degree program.
